the war on drugs is like almost awesome to me but something holds them back from really breaking into greatness

All their music has been "grow-er not a show-er" for me. At first I found the chord changes and vocal melodies predictable and boring, repetitive. But the textures and layers of guitar and the strange tones kept bringing me back for more, until I was hooked. It's some of my fave headphone music now; there's some tricky/dense wizardry on many tracks that's akin to siamese dream levels of detail and immersiveness

that's kind of the thing for me though... it's like they're doing all the right steps but it still doesn't look like dancing.

their production, their arrangements, their whole "thing" is very put together and they have a clear vision as a band
